Is there actually any software that can do hardware-offload with the Intel 4500MHD? I've been using MPC Home Cinema on my desktop but it doesn't seem to support the Intel chips at this point. I've been told that both PowerDVD & WinDVD support HW Acceleration with nVidia & ATI chips but no one seems to know whether or not it works with Intel kit.
I'd like to be able to take a few 720p TV encodes (from my TiVo) with me when I travel and CoreAVC isn't always cutting it on my Latitude E4200...
Can anyone help me out on this with a "yes" or "no" before I toss away cash on software I may not be able to use?

It should in theory support it: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/03/07/intel_talks_up_gma_x4500_hd/
As for actuality, I dunno. I decode 720p fine with only a 2GHz Core 2 with no hardware acceleration. 1080p starts to make it work. How fast is your machine? -
Dell Latitude E4200, Intel Core2Duo SU9400 (dual-core 1.4GHz, 3MB cache, 800MHz FSB), 3GB DDR3-1066.
With ffdshow I'm fine for about 60% of my encodes. With CoreAVC that rises to more than 95% but the CPU is typically running at 70-80% across both cores which isn't too gentle on the battery.
